SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:15 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 1-2 QPR
This doesn't look ideal for QPR's Kenneth Paal... he's hobbling off to the left touchline clutching his hamstring.
He's going to be replaced by Morgan Fox. The injury problems just never seem to end for the Hoops...
'Can Oxford turn this around?'published at 21:12 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 1-2 QPR
Jerome Sale
BBC Radio Oxford commentator
The crowd noise is all Oxford United!
Can they turn that noise into momentum, and turn this game back around?

Oxford 1-2 QPR
Dan George
BBC Sport at the Kassam Stadium
Well then...
It looks like we have a game on our hands, that was a brilliant flowing team move by Oxford, ending with Stan Mills glancing a header into the back of the net.
The noise inside the the Kassam has gone up a notch now, the home support believe they can get back in it!

SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 1-2 QPR
QPR boss Marti Cifuentes reacts to that goal by making a double change.
Sam Field and Daniel Bennie make way for Lucas Andersen and Tottenham Hotspur loanee Yang Min-hyeok.
GOAL: Oxford 1-2 QPRpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 9 April
Stan Mills (62 mins)

Stan Mills gets Oxford back in the game with his first touch!
Przemyslaw Płacheta plays Siriki Dembele into the box on the left and he loops a ball across the face of goal.
Mills is there to head home, just seconds after coming on from the bench.
Game on now!
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:08 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
Probably not a good sign when Ryan Hardie is going off for Plymouth. Even he hasn't been able to stop the onslaught today and is replaced by Freddie Issaka.

SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:07 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 0-2 QPR
Hidde Ter Avest cannot continue for Oxford and goes off with a head injury to be replaced by Stan Mills.
That's now the right-back and left-back the U's have lost to injury tonight with Ciaron Brown going off in the first-half.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
The experienced Joe Allen is replaced in midfield by Jay Fulton.

Oxford 0-2 QPR
Oxford's Hidde Ter Avest and QPR's Sam Field challenge for an aerial ball and clash heads.
Both are down getting treatment.
KICK-OFFpublished at 21:04 British Summer Time 9 April
Coventry 0-0 Portsmouth
Back underway in Coventry.
GREAT SAVE!published at 21:04 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
What a save this is from Plymouth keeper Conor Hazard!
Eom Ji-sung powers in a header at the far post and Hazard dives to his left and parries it into the air. He recovers quickly to get up and swat it away as it drops towards Zan Vipotnik who was waiting to tap into the empty net.
Postpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
Swansea carve through Plymouth yet again and Ronald finds himself in acres of space on the right of the box.
He opts to try and square it instead of shooting but nobody can get on the end of it and the chance goes begging.
It's no exaggeration to say the Swans could have scored six or seven already tonight.
Postpublished at 21:00 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 0-2 QPR
Kenneth Paal is fed in on the left by Nicolas Madsen for QPR and it opens up for him but his shot is well blocked.
The Hoops have started the second half in the same fashion in which they played the first... dominating.
'Oxford need to do the basics'published at 20:59 British Summer Time 9 April
Oxford 0-2 QPR
Peter Rhoades-Brown
Former Oxford and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio Oxford
The first half has got to be forgotten now.
Oxford need to get their foot down, put their foot through the ball and make the tackles. They all just need to do the basics.
CHANCE!published at 20:58 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
How many chances for Swansea?! Another great opportunity to well and truly put this to bed goes begging.
Ben Cabango is completely unmarked seven yards out from a corner but somehow heads well wide.
CLOSE!published at 20:57 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
A fourth for Swansea feels like a matter of when not if. They're cutting through Plymouth with ease.
This time, Josh Key drives forward and sets it to Lewis O'Brien on the edge of the box but his effort is deflected narrowly wide of the far post.
'A little frustrating at times'published at 20:56 British Summer Time 9 April
HT: Coventry 0-0 Portsmouth
Steve Ogrizovic
Ex-Coventry City goalkeeper on BBC Radio CWR
It has been a little bit frustrating at times, but a good game to watch if you are a neutral.
I actually thought Portsmouth would sit a little bit deeper and defend, but they haven't and they have had quite a physical approach to the game so far.
I think 0-0 is probably a fair scoreline going in at half-time. But Coventry are going to need to improve a little bit in the second half, if they are going to get anything from this game.

CHANCE!published at 20:55 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
Swansea really should have made it four...
A great move by the hosts and Josh Tymon fires in a low cross from the left for Zan Vipotnik about six yards out but he sends a first time effort flying high and wide.
Postpublished at 20:52 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
Almost the perfect start to this half for Plymouth as Matty Sorinola sends in a corner from the right and it's met by Jordan Houghton but his powerful header is saved by Lawrence Vigouroux and Swansea are able to scramble it clear.
Surely Argyle can only get betterpublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 9 April
Swansea 3-0 Plymouth
Gareth Vincent
BBC Sport Wales at the Swansea.com Stadium
There is a decent away following at the Swansea.com Stadium tonight, with the travelling Plymouth fans making plenty of noise in the opening stages of this game.
At half-time, however, there were a fair few boos from the Argyle end after a desperate opening 45 minutes for the Championship's bottom club.
Plymouth must get better in this second period, mustn't they?
